North Korea has local copyright laws and is a signatory to the Berne Convention.

  And yet, Red Star OS does not open-source any upstream contributions. I'm sure there were some modifications made that were not disclosed in compliance with applicable licenses.

    IIRC it's mostly bog-standard. Most of their modifications are either simply changing the branding, changing the i18n files, or adding custom software. That said, it would probably be quite fun to send GPL-compliance requests for source code, I almost want to try :)

      Hah, someone ought to tell rms. If anyone would actually go to N. Korea and confront Kim, it would be him. Or maybe the gov't could go after N. Korea on the license violation under the Berne convention? Like tax evasion bringing down Al Capone, though I'm sure it wouldn't work.

      Yep. Like the hysteria about China trolling through my (American citizen) data from my phone. CCP probably isn't going to extraordinarily rendition me, whatever horrible, unkind, true-or-untrue things I say about them. The US Government? Fuck no I don't want them going through my data, they've already proven they don't actually give a fuck about the piece of paper from which they derive power.

      There’s a whole industry that basically exists to accept these terms from Federal and State government. They skim a few points, get screwed by the receivables for late payment, and accept whatever onerous terms that are imposed. For example, a global company needs to report on how many Northern Irish employees are Catholic or Protestant to sell crap to New York City. Nobody wants to deal with crap like that, so the reseller sucks it up.
